The Hail Mary is composed of several parts. The first and largest portion comes from the Archangel Gabriel's address to the Blessed Virgin Mary (Luke 1:28) "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women." (all Bible quotations are from the Douay-Rheims translation) The next part comes from verse 42, where her cousin, Elizabeth is addressing her: "... Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb." The last part was from a petition added by the faithful over the centuries: "Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death." Common usage over the centuries put Mary's name in after the "Hail", and Jesus name in after the "fruit of thy womb". The entire prayer - as we have it now - was first recorded in print in the Camaldolese monks' Breviary in the early 16th century.
Great question! :)
This quote is attributed to the archangel Gabriel when he greeted Mary. They are his opening words to what is called the Anunciation, in which he anounces that Mary will give birth to Jesus.
In the original Koine Greek, it was recorded as
Xaιρε κεχaριτωμένη ό κύριος μετά σου. (Luke 1:28)
From the Greek it was translated (primarily) into Latin as
Ave (Maria) gratia plena Dominus tecum. (Luke 1:28)
And from either the Greek or the Latin, Gabriel's words may be rendered in English as Hail (Mary) full of grace, the Lord is with you.

Mary
The description fits Mary, the mother of Jesus in Christian tradition. She is revered for her purity and is often referred to as the "full of grace."
The galilean woman who was sinless and full of grace is also known as The Virgin Mary or Mary the Mother of God. She was also called Mariam.
It is latin for Hail Mary, full of grace.
In the original Greek of Luke 1:28, the angel greets Mary saying, "χαῖρε, κεχαριτωμένη (kI-reh kek-kar-it-ah-men-ay)" which Catholic translate as "hail, full of grace." Although the name of Mary is not explicitly used, the verse is very clear that he is speaking to her. κεχαριτωμένη implies a completeness of the process of being given grace, that is, Mary has been given grace to the fullest degree.
Hail Mary, full of grace.Will you grace us with your presence?
"Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women." This part came from the words of the angel Gabriel, when he first spoke to Mary on behalf of God. "Blessed is the fruit of thy womb." These were the words of Elizabeth, sister of Mary and mother of John the Baptist. "Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen." Was said by the "Catechism of the Council of Trent" to have been

The angel Gabriel said that phrase because the Lord is with her. Why "full of grace?" Because the Lord blessed the Holy Virgin Mary so much. It's a blessing to have the Holy Messiah on your womb."The angel came to her (the Holy Virgin Mary) and said, 'Peace be with you! The Lord is with you and greatly blessed you!'" (Luke I:28, Today's English Version 1992)
